Reporting from clinical investigations approved by local RECs under the Council Directives 93/42/EEC and 90/385/EEC (SI 252/1994 and SI 253/1994 as amended)
As of 26 May 2021, all aspects of reporting, including annual, safety and device deficiency reporting from studies previously approved by local RECs under the Council Directives 93/42/EEC and 90/385/EEC (SI 252/1994 and SI 253/1994 as amended) should be directed to the NREC-MD.
On the submission of a first such report, we ask the applicant to also submit all relevant study documentation, such as original application documents and previous annual reports. Applicants must submit an annual report to the NREC within 30 days following the anniversary of the date on which approval was given and for every year thereafter for the duration of the study. End-of-study reports should be submitted to the National Office within one year of the conclusion of the research. The submission of all such reports will be acknowledged in writing by the National Office.
